Halliday & Matthiessen (2014: 650):
Notice, finally, that collocations are often fairly specifically associated with one or another particular register, or functional variety of the language. This is true, of course, of individual lexical items, many of which we regard as ‘technical’ because they appear exclusively, or almost exclusively, in one kind of text. But it is also noteworthy that perfectly ordinary lexical items often appear in different collocations according to the text variety. For example, hunting, in a story of the English aristocracy, will call up quarry and hounds (or, at another level, shooting and fishing); in an anthropological text, words like gathering, agricultural and pastoral; as well as, in other contexts, bargain, souvenir, fortune and such-like.
